As soon as she got closer, she heard a series of roars, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. When Lu Manman looked closer, she was surprised to see that the insectoids and mutated beasts, who had always kept to themselves, were actually fighting.

Wow! Good heavens, the mutated beasts on this planet are truly the most violent beasts she has ever seen. Even the mutated rabbits and mutated birds are incredibly powerful. Tsk tsk!

But what exactly is going on? Could it be Qi Xiuyuan?

Lu Manman scanned the area but did not see Qi Xiuyuan. All she saw was a chaotic battle between the Zerg and mutated beasts.

Just as Lu Manman was wondering, she spotted a huge fox and a white tiger darting out of the bushes and running toward a certain place, while the surrounding insect queens all came up to stop them.

The mutated tiger is Qi Xiuyuan, and the mutated fox... could it be Hua Qingmo?

Otherwise, it's hard to explain why he would impulsively cooperate with a mutated fox like that.

...

Meanwhile, in Huang Yuecheng's laboratory, an assistant accidentally knocked over a dark matter crystal.

Realizing he had caused trouble, the man panicked and, without thinking, hurriedly and clumsily packed his things away.

Seeing that the items had been taken back, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Suddenly, his breath caught in his throat, and he realized something, turning sharply to look at his hands.

He directly touched the dark matter crystal and nothing happened to him?!

Just then, the shift changer arrived. The man didn't have time to think it over and returned to his dormitory with a heavy heart, torn between whether or not to tell Professor Huang.

If I don't tell him, the surveillance footage will be overwritten as long as nothing happens for a week. They won't usually think about checking the footage, so I'll be safe. But will it really be okay if I come into direct contact with that thing?

The next day, the person waiting for the shift change never saw the assistant again, and he didn't answer his personal terminal either. Could it be that he overslept?

I asked a colleague who lived in the same dormitory to knock on the door, but no one answered.

A sense of foreboding crept into her heart, and she quickly had someone fetch a spare key to open the door, only to find the man lying on the bed, no longer breathing.

What's bizarre is that the man has two cat ears on his head, and most of his face is covered with cat fur, with only his chin retaining a human-like appearance.

When the blanket was lifted, the limbs had turned into cat claws, and the body was covered in fur.

He's turned into a half-cat, half-human monster!

This horrifying scene sent chills down the spines of everyone present, making their hair stand on end, and they immediately contacted Huang Yuecheng.

Upon receiving the news, Huang Yuecheng rushed over and frowned as he looked at the scene before him.

Having seen it all before, the seasoned veteran immediately ordered, "Block the news immediately. All those who know the truth must keep their mouths shut and not leave this experimental park. For the rest, keep it a secret and let them stay in the office building on the outskirts of the experimental park."

"Have a few more people put on protective suits and carry him into the isolation laboratory. Clear out the people on this floor and the floors above and below, and don't allow anyone to come in."

"Finally, send someone to check the surveillance footage to see his recent whereabouts and daily routine. If anything is found to be unusual, report it immediately."

After giving a few instructions, Huang Yuecheng finally felt relieved and changed into his lab coat before entering the laboratory.

After an examination, it was found that he died peacefully, probably in his sleep. He should not have known about the physical mutation, since almost 40% of his body had become cat-like, which would terrify anyone. However, his room was so clean that there was no trace of the mutation.

Huang Yuecheng extracted his genes and found that his genes had become more than 70% beast-like, but compared with normal mutant cats, they were obviously different. This was a completely new gene, an almost completely new gene.

Huang Yuecheng's heart raced; he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

Just then, a voice came from the personal terminal; it was the subordinate who had been sent to check the surveillance footage.

“Master, we checked the surveillance footage for the past week, and there was nothing unusual about the man except that at 5:37 last night, he accidentally knocked over the wooden box containing dark matter crystals and put it back in his hand.”

His subordinate then played the surveillance footage from that time.

It was obvious that this matter was related to dark matter crystallization. Huang Yuecheng glanced at the half-human, half-cat assistant on the experimental table and immediately assigned tasks to his subordinates.

...

After discussing insect astrology, the mutated tiger and mutated fox split up. The mutated tiger was responsible for holding off the insect queens, while the mutated fox moved forward at a rapid pace towards their target.

Seeing this, Lu Manman immediately controlled the plants to block the Zerg Queen along with the mutated tiger, while also controlling the plants to protect the mutated fox.

Qi Xiuyuan and Hua Qingmo both knew that the road ahead was long and arduous, but the current situation was pressing, and they could not stop.

The mutated fox kept running forward and soon came across a giant Zerg queen.

At this moment, the giant Zerg queen was comfortably soaking in a huge pit filled with dark matter crystals.

It didn't take the suddenly appearing mutated fox seriously at all. As long as it persisted for a while, it could give birth to countless Zerg queen offspring. At that time, the entire interstellar space would belong to them.

Without saying a word, Hua Qingmo jumped into the dark matter crystal, quickly dog-digging to the vicinity of the giant insect queen, and immediately began to bite.

Usually, it's the Zerg that bites them, but now it's finally his turn to bite the Zerg. Isn't this a kind of revenge?

The Zerg Queen smiled mockingly. "So this is it? You think you can hurt it?"

But its laughter soon faded; the bite wound was truly painful, and then it began to fester, spreading rapidly and causing excruciating pain.

How could it not know that mutant beasts these days are so vicious?

The Zerg Queen angrily flung the mutated fox away, her tentacles following closely behind, ready to tear the wretched mutated fox to shreds.

The mutated fox dodged the insect queen's tentacles with a graceful roll, while Lu Manman, who had been following behind, quickly controlled the plants to block the tentacles and engaged in a fierce battle with them.

Then a torrential downpour began, a testament to Lu Manman's water-based superpower.

The water-based ability carries a purifying power, which has affected the Zerg present to varying degrees.

The mutated fox regained its footing and lunged forward again, biting down hard. The Zerg Queen winced and flung herself away once more.

Something could actually poison it, and it was a mutated beast at that. The giant Zerg queen gave the mutated fox a deep look and quickly summoned other Zerg queens to protect it.

Upon receiving the order, the Zerg queens charged towards the giant Zerg queen without hesitation.

They attacked the strange plants and mutated foxes.

The giant Zerg queen is currently in a critical period of spawning and is much weaker than before. They must protect the hope of conquering the stars in the future.

Soon, the mutated beasts and the Zerg were locked in a fierce battle in front of the giant Zerg Queen, fighting to the death.

Seeing this, Lu Manman stopped hiding and instead found Qi Xiuyuan while fighting.

Back to back, the two stood together, one human and one tiger. Lu Manman controlled the plants and instantly pierced through many Zerg Queens. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she seemed to have become much stronger.

Qi Xiuyuan also used his tiger claw to randomly take away a lucky Zerg player.

Lu Manman asked while fighting, "What's the situation now?"
